your charm bracelet is beautiful. i have one that belonged to my great aunt that’s on a chain just like that, it’s too small – she must have had tiny wrists – but i love how they tell a story about their owner. i can’t think of a better thing to pass along through a family.

I spent almos 4 months smoking salmon in Ketchikan. My good fiends own and manage the Cedars Lodge, Clover Pass, and Sliver King Lodge. Please let me know when you are planning on going etc. I also was talking to a professor at the U of U and he told me he would only travel by ship. Not cruise ship. But by ferry. You can sleep in the quarters or tent on the deck.Seriously, you HAVE TO VISIT AK. There is nothing like it. Really, email me if you want more info.
